The Outlaws' Guide to the Marantz SR5004
If you connected the video portion of the VCR record output, connect the left/right audio
record outputs to the same device. The CD/CD-R input also offers a similar audio
record output, which can be connected to an audio recording device (cassette deck,
CD-R/RW deck, or similar). Both the VCR record output and the CD/CD-R record output
work only with analog stereo inputs. Digital inputs are not available at these outputs.
The digital audio output is an optical connection. This connection can be used as a
record output to a device with a digital record input, such as a MiniDisc recorder, or to
send audio to Zone B. In either case, this output will only work with inputs that have a
digital audio connection (coaxial or optical). See page 43 for instructions on configuring
this output.
The last audio outputs available are the Zone A outputs. These share the same
limitation as the record outputs: they can only be used with inputs that have stereo
analog connections made. These outputs can be used to connect to a separate power
amplifier that powers speakers in Zone A, allowing Zone A to be used even if the main
zone has surround back speakers.

Other Connections

Additional rear panel connections include a 12V trigger, IR input, an RS-232 port, an
assortment of radio antennas or satellite radio modules (FM, AM, XM, and Sirius), and a
pair of switched 120VAC power outlets. The radio antennas are a good place to start
with these final connections. The SR5004 comes with both AM and FM antennas.
These can be connected to the AM and FM antenna connections near the top right
corner of the rear panel. The XM and SIRIUS connections can be used with the
onboard XM and SIRIUS receivers, but they are sold separately and a subscription to
the satellite radio service(s) is required.
Other Rear Panel Connections
The SR5004 offers a 12VDC trigger labeled "DC OUT". This trigger uses a mono 1/8"
mini-plug and can be connected to equipment such as power amplifiers to turn them on
and off simultaneously with the SR5004, power conditioners to switch outlets with the
